A small word of caution. When I became a vegetarian several years
ago, I significantly increased my intake of dairy and soy. It was at
this point that I became allergic to both. I suspect that I had the
latent tendency to become allergic, and that the increased
consumption, somehow kicked my immune system into identifying these
proteins as foreign. I am now severely allergic to both and cannot
eat either without either a respiratory reaction or a relapse of
rheumatoid arthritis, which has been in remission since I stopped
eating dairy products.
Needless to say, without dairy or soy, being a healthy vegetarian is
an extremely difficult challenge. I opted for the "healthy" and
dropped the "vegetarian."
